La Liga

Jimbo and the continental crew of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens cast their eyes over a huge weekend in Europe.

Questions start to be asked of Xavi as elimination from the Champions League looms for Barca. It’s been a bad seven days for Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen after two thrashings but Union Berlin defeat Dortmund to stay top of the Bundesliga. Can they go all the way? Can Napoli or an Ademola Lookman-inspired Atalanta go all the way in Serie A? And in France, Laurent Blanc returns and Kylian Mbappe U-turns. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo and the Euro crew of James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein reassemble after a dramatic weekend on the continent. Bayern Munich lose at Augsburg and are on their worst run for 20 years. Sadly for Sadio Mane.

Taty Castellanos gets his move to Europe, but is this the right move? Taty Castellanos gets a move to CFG and loaned to Girona, the newly promoted La Liga club, but is this the right move for the prolific NYCFC forward? The Italian international Bernardeschi transfers from Juvenuts in to Toronto FC in MLS. Bernardeschi, at 28, joins Lorenzo Insigne, at 31. Does this prove once and for all that MLS is not a retirement league? Also with Taty Castellanos getting the Jack Harrison move out of NYCFC through the CFG ladder, do you think it'll work out the same?
